[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
How to install for n00bs

All right, since I didn't reserve a couple posts below the OP (which is stupid of me), I'll post this here and link it in the OP. These are a set of instructions that should help people that want to install the PowerWashed ED05 ROM without any problems or hassles. This is with consideration that you are on Windows. I'll probably make one for Mac/Linux users later.

Preparation:

First of all, you will need to download some stuff in order to do this successfully.

7-ZIP (for extracting these files)

Let's start!

First, backup your data. To backup your apps, I recommend Titanium Backup from the market. If you need to backup your SMS/MMS and other stuff, I recommend trying MyBackup Root or SMS Backup and Restore. These apps will save everything to your SD Card.

Move the PowerWashed v1.2 zip, and the kernel zip (if you downloaded one) to the Phone's SD Card, on a folder where you can find it.

Second, once you've done that, install the Samsung USB Drivers. Then install 7-Zip.

Then, find the ED05 Full Odin package and extract it with 7-Zip. The extracted folder should have 4 folders.

Next, find the Odin rar file you downloaded and extract it with 7-Zip as well.

Turn off your phone and remove the battery. Plug in your phone into your computer while holding down the Volume down button. It will boot into download mode, and let Windows install the drivers for it. Once Windows has installed the drivers, go to the Odin folder you extracted. Find the Odin v1.3.exe and run it. Make sure your phone is still plugged. From there, click the PDA button, and in the file prompt, go into the ED05 ODIN package folder you extracted, and go into the 4th folder, called "4-CI500_VZW_ED05_Froyo_REL". In there you will find the file "CI500_VZW_ED05_FROYO_REL.tar.md5". Double click on it. Then click the "PIT" button, and it should bring you to the folder we were last looking it. You should see the atlas_v2.2.pit file. Double click it. Now, cross your fingers, make sure your phone is still plugged in and in download mode, and click "Start". Don't unplug your phone until it is done.

Once Odin has finished, unplug your phone, put the battery back in, and boot your phone all the way once up to the home screen.

Then, pull the battery, and with the phone off and battery removed, and holding down the Volume down button, plug it into your computer again. Open up Odin again, and click Reset, just to make sure it doesn't have anything left over in the Odin boxes. Now click PDA and select the CWM Recovery tar file you downloaded, and hit start. Replace the battery and boot the phone while holding the 3 buttons down at the same time: vol up, vol down, and power.

Your phone will now be in recovery. Do a data/factory reset. Then go to install zip from sdcard, find the PowerWashed v1 zip and select it, and install it.

Done! Hope this will help some people that want to enjoy this ROM.
